Hey Frank, I had the same Otari remote. Physical switches are nice but not really practical these days unless you're tracking to a RADAR which, by the way, is accessible.
Anyway, when tracking live bands, one would simply arm all the tracks with one keyboard command so it's not really an issue. Further, a control surface would simplify things to a large degree, for what it's worth. Level metering is via a numeric value that can toggle between no peak hold, 3 second peak hold and infinite peak hold with a clip indicator that can be persistent if desired.
